Dûmrúcina Maril
Dûmrúcina Maril, or the "Halls of Shattered Crystal" in Elvish, was once a magnificent city, a testament to Elven ingenuity and artistry. Located on the northeastern shore of Nendëcilin , it thrived as a center of learning, trade, and artistic expression. The city was renowned for its breathtaking architecture, with buildings adorned with shimmering crystals that refracted the sunlight in dazzling displays. Vast gardens, overflowing with exotic plants and flowers, adorned the city, while a massive library housed a vast collection of knowledge. However, this splendor came at a terrible cost. The people of Dûmrúcina Maril, bound by a dark pact, served the Dragons and Great Cats, their wealth and prosperity fueling the coffers of their draconic overlords. Annual sacrifices were offered to appease their powerful patrons, a grim reminder of the city's subservience.
Today, Dûmrúcina Maril lies in ruins. The once-grand city is now a crumbling shadow of its former glory, its buildings overgrown with vegetation and its streets choked with weeds. The city was thoroughly looted during the Chain Breaker War, its treasures plundered by the victors. However, whispers persist that some treasures, perhaps even artifacts of great power, remain hidden within the ruins. Despite these rumors, few dare to venture into the city's decaying heart. Many believe that Dûmrúcina Maril is haunted by the spirits of its past, cursed by the blood of its sacrifices, and forever bound to the shadows of its forgotten glory.
